I came here with my girlfriend and her best guy friend. I've never seen my girl treated so terribly. We were the only ones in the bar and admittedly she has colored hair and tattoos. He made a point to make jabs at her hair and jump into our own conversation to call her little miss and shes wrong. I don't support this.

There was no one in this place when I came with my two friends. I have never been treated so terrible. I would advise any woman that looks different to stay away. I go to many places and have never experienced anything like this. Will never go back

Great food and friendly people. And the beer is cold.

Vicki was so lovely and kind. My friend is a regular patron here and brought me here for a Monday lunch. He kept telling me about their grilled cheese and I’m like okay I need to try this.

They had a $10 beef sandwich special that day and the size of that sandwich was enormous! I opted for the lil grilled cheese and I had to try the mozzarella sticks. My eyes were bigger than my stomach. The cheese sticks were very good but I could only eat one and a half. I had to focus on the amazingly delicious, gooey, greasy, cheesy grilled cheese mmm mmmm mmmm! Yes that is a good sandwich.

It is a small menu and not a lot of choices for vegetarians. I like the place though. It is tiny and cute. Firefighter decor. It used to be a little house and it was converted to a restaurant. It has a full service bar as well. Lots of friendly locals. Come here for a nice cheap lunch, you will like it.

Do it for PaPa

For being in such a small town, I was not expecting everything to be as good as it was. The burger was one of the largest I’ve ever had and seasoned just right! The best part was the price! So much food for very little. 10 out of 10 stars! Thank you I’m so glad there are still places like this around!

Parking: It’s gravel.
